With the Wind

The wind is blowing fiercely now. I am re-thinking the notion of walking in the face of it now. Perhaps I want to go alongside of it, seeing where it's headed. Perhaps it will enhance my speed, whip me into shape, wisk away some of those tears on my face, some of those burdens on my back. It seems like the easy way out - moving with the wind - but things are not often as they seem. It is not the easiest thing for me, but it is the best thing. There is plenty of isolation and hardship ahead, loads of misunderstanding and challenge. I'm doing my best to pack as lightly as possible, leaving behind any unnecessary fear, pain, doubt, inadequacy, diffidence and loneliness and move full force and swiftly with determination, perseverance, hope, confidence and perspective, humility, pride and love...moving full force with the wind for once. Now it won't be the only force to be reckoned with.
